[ ] It happened in an especially memorable place.
[x] It was widely covered in the media.
[x] It was a traumatic event for the whole country.
Brief explanation: This is a classic example of "flashbulb memory." Strong surprise and emotional impact (trauma, national significance) plus intense, repeated media coverage and social rehearsal make the event particularly vivid in people's minds, so they tend to remember where they were when they heard the news.
